MyWaste is this week promoting its fifth National Food Waste Recycling Week running up to 7 June.

3 June 2026: MyWaste, Ireland’s official waste management guide, is this week promoting National Food Waste Recycling Week 2026. Coinciding with the week, MyWaste has also announced Jo Linehan, renowned journalist and sustainability advocate, as its official brand ambassador for the year. Now in its fifth year, the campaign continues to raise awareness on best practice for food waste management.

Preliminary data for 2025 from the National Waste Collection Permit Office (NWCPO) shows significant progress in the uptake of food waste recycling services with over 1.4 million households across Ireland now using brown bins. Presentation rates having surged to 70%, highlighting Ireland’s growing commitment to food waste recycling and the circular economy.

Between 2024 and 2025, the number of households with access to the brown bin service increased by 10%, and presentation rates grew by 3%. All types of households across Ireland are now engaged with food waste recycling in both rural and urban areas, as well as all housing types, including apartments.

While food waste prevention remains the priority during National Food Waste Recycling Week, MyWaste is reminding everyone of the simple steps needed to make sure that inedible food waste (peels, rinds, eggshells) is sorted correctly in line with best practice.

National Food Waste Recycling Week not only celebrates the collective effort of households, businesses, waste collectors, local authorities, and communities across Ireland but also highlights the clear opportunity to build on this positive momentum. This year’s awareness campaign is focused on reducing bin contamination and ensuring more regular brown bin presentation, even if it is only half full. Frequent brown bin presentation helps to ensure increasing volumes of nutrient-rich fresh food waste that can be transformed to produce nutrient-rich compost and valuable biomethane energy. Recycling food waste is directly contributing to Ireland’s transition to a circular economy.

For more information on proper usage, please visit MyWaste.ie for a comprehensive A-Z guide, helpful tips, and answers to frequently asked questions. Households and businesses can also contact their local waste collector with any queries.
